Amendment XII, Section 2:
[2] The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
(emphasis added)
When I say "wait and see who Bush 'annoints'" I am not implying that is how we should all go. We are not sheep. All I am saying is that Dubya holds the power cards right now in the Republican party, and so whomever he chooses will be "a player."
But that "player" will not yet be "selected" as our candidate. That is still up to us to do.
And if Dubya continues to grow the government, I could easily see us going with someone outside his choosing.
Cut out the middle man and run in 2008! I am willing to bet that if Hitlery runs, and she will, the entire Bush family, as well as many prominent Republicans will plead the case that Jeb must run- run for the sake of saving our Republic.
heh heh. Speaking of compassion, if brother Jeb had any compassion for his older sibling, he would declare his candidacy forthwith! That would free up our faux press to spend the next four years digging up dirt,er, perusing Jeb's background. Thereby leaving "W" with an open field.
On second thought, if Jeb has designs on the office(and he should), he might be better served keeping it under his hat. JMO, but if "W" has a good second term, "Four More Years" would have a nice ring to it, no?

Yeah, but, HE NEVER ADDRESSES 2012, when he will be sixty years old. A young sixty, I might add if he watches his diet and exercise.
He's waiting till 2012 or 1016 if he decided to run. He knows a dynasty won't help him.
Just heard some Lib'ral on Hannity in a fit 'cuz he believes since Dubyuh was "selected not elected," he's gonna be able to run again in '08, to which Hannity said that Dubyuh won't run again but his brother might...LOL!! Thought the Lib'ral was gonna have a cow.
FReegards...MUD
HA!!
See?!
This could be a real blast.
...drivin' the suckers nuts. :o)
And drivin' the RATS who ain't nuts to question whether they wanna keep bein' suckers...MUD
The Kennedy political dynasty is enough.
Why? Give me a REAL reason. If there is more than one person in a family who can do the job, what's the problem.
Political talent runs in families. Good values run in families. Moral clarity runs in families. Common sense (can) run in families. Intelligence runs in families. Good health runs in families.
What is the problem? Why is "new" blood necessarily "better" blood?
This question is for any of you that think Jeb would be a bad idea, for whatever reason.
I'd like to hear the justification for your opinions.
So what are you trying to say, Jebbie? You're running for CONGRESS in 06, not Senate? Heh heh.
Well, there's one Gov. Bush the Dems. don't have to worry about for now, I think they had their hands full with the former Gov. Bush, the one from Texas.
That's exactly what O'Reilly said, to dynastic, First the Father, then the Son, but no one would vote for this Son for that very reason.
There's plenty of things of substance that Bush could drive the left nuts, right now....starting with:
Social in-Security reform, Medical savings accounts, tort reform, income tax reform- (or better yet; the Fair Tax) etc, etc. I'm more interested in seeing results....than I am in seeing the Republican party win elections, merely to drive the left nuts.
NOW....at the risk of sounding impatient;
we have a Republican controlled Senate, Congress, AND the White House. If these guys can't get a whole bunch of reforms, and I mean serious reforms, then I don't give a damn who they want to put up (as a trial ballon) in 2008.
And let's see some conservative Supreme Court Justices!!!
Right, We fought, and kicked the Kings men out of this country 230 years ago.
Yes, print them up immediately, they will be foaming at the mouth by 2008, after seeing them for the next few years. I love it. Brilliant!
